We could use coalesce() to cycle through several {}formats{}. However this would not get us a behaviour identical to base R. For more on this see Jon's comment in the umbrella / parent issue. 

I improved the error message and the behaviour with remain the same. Users will not be able to supply more formats to {}tryFormats{}, but they will be advised to try the specialised parsing functions when they do so.
